DeSantis-controlled Disney World district gets rid of all diversity, equity and inclusion programs and staffers Last spring, DeSantis, who is running for the GOP presidential nomination, signed into law a measure that blocks public colleges from using federal or state funding on diversity programs.

Source: Associated Press By The Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. — Diversity, equity and inclusion programs were abolished Tuesday from Walt Disney World’s governing district, now controlled by appointees of Gov. Ron DeSantis, in an echo of the Florida governor’s agenda which has championed curtailing such programs in higher education and elsewhere. The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District said in a statement that its diversity, equity and inclusion committee would be eliminated, as would any job duties connected to it. Also axed were initiatives left over from when the district was controlled by Disney supporters, which awarded contracts based on goals of achieving racial or gender parity.

Glenton Gilzean, the district's new administrator who is African American and a former head of the Central Florida Urban League, called such initiatives "illegal and simply un-American." Gilzean has been a fellow or member at two conservative institutions, the James Madison Institute and the American Enterprise Institute Leadership Network, as well as a DeSantis appointee to the Florida Commission on Ethics.

"Our district will no longer participate in any attempt to divide us by race or advance the notion that we are not created equal," Gilzean said in a statement. "As the former head of the Central Florida Urban League, a civil rights organization, I can say definitively that our community thrives only when we work together despite our differences.
 
It does appear that DeSantis outlasted Reedy Creek.

DeSantis won. The deviants at Disney lost.

Discrimination by any race against any other race is illegal.

I often wonder what exactly a completely diverse, equitable and inclusive society would look like.

I doubt that we will ever see it but discrimination and racial hatred by Disney has been limited at Disney World... "district gets rid of all diversity, equity and inclusion programs and staffers."

DeSantis wins again.

This is a good thing. What's amazing is leftist idiots who love DEI aren't really aren't interested in DEI. With their vision of DEI there is very little of all three. I bet if you asked then to define DEI they couldn't.

The only way to end racism and discrimination is to treat every as equals.

Democrats don't understand this.

Indeed.

Discrimination ends when you stop discriminating.

One would think that the far left loons would eventually understand that but they aren't called loons for nothing.
